Dental Implants – McKinney, TX
A Life-Long Tooth Replacement
If you’re dealing with missing teeth every day, then you’re probably very familiar with the variety of problems they can cause. Simple things like talking, eating, and even smiling can be awkward and uncomfortable, and they can constantly make you feel self-conscious as well. Unfortunately, did you know that missing teeth can also be a serious problem for your oral health? People with missing teeth are much more vulnerable to developing gum disease, which in itself is the leading cause of tooth loss!
To prevent all of these problems and fully restore your confidence, the best thing to do is replace your teeth, and you surely want to do it the best possible way. You want a treatment that provides security, longevity, and it should look completely natural as well. Fortunately, Dr. Rana Lee and TriCorner Dentistry have this exact kind of solution. We can provide you with the most advanced tooth-replacement option available today: dental implants.
Benefits of Dental Implants
At TriCorner Dentistry, we offer dental implants to our patients because they can bring you advantages that you simply won’t find with any other option, including:
- Health: Dental implants are the only tooth replacement that prevents your jawbone from deteriorating after tooth loss.
- Lifespan: Lasting longer than any other solution, you can enjoy implants for a lifetime with proper care.
- Comfort: Because they look and feel like your natural teeth, dental implants are so comfortable that you’ll eventually forget that you have them.
- Strength: Rooted in your jawbone, dental implants create the strongest biting power, which allows you to eat a wider variety of foods.
Indications for Dental Implants
Dental implants are extremely versatile, and they can be used to replace everything from a single tooth to an entire smile. The type of restoration that you need will depend on the number of teeth you’re missing.
Missing Single Tooth
For a single missing tooth, an all-porcelain crown will be attached to a post using a connector called an abutment. Dental porcelain is one of the most advanced materials used in all of dentistry, and it is able to mimic a real tooth in every possible way, including shape, size, color, strength, and even feel.
Missing Multiple Teeth
If you have multiple teeth that are missing consecutively, we will recommend an implant-retained bridge. This will fill the gap in your smile, using implants as supports to create a complete and functional set of teeth.
Missing All Teeth
For patients who are missing multiple teeth throughout their mouth or an entire arch, dental implants can also be used to support a set of dentures. Implant-retained partial and full dentures look just as natural as traditional ones, but they typically stay in place much better, maintain their fit for longer, and provide much stronger biting power.
Understanding the Cost of Dental Implants
The cost of your dental implants can range greatly because of the many variables that contribute to the implant process. The number of teeth that you’re missing, the condition of your oral health, and the strength of your jawbone are just some of the factors that Dr. Lee will consider when developing your personalized treatment plan. Once our implant dentist in McKinney has carefully examined your mouth, she will be able to give you a much more precise estimate.
